Almost there. 7 more days. Hoping for no hiccups at home and I stay healthy until then. Fingers crossed. So looking forward to surgery.

I just got my date of June 12th @ 0700 confirmed. . I am so ready to get this done. Patience is not a virtue I was born with! I would like to keep in touch if you are so inclined since we are having surgery 3 days apart.

Dcostella, how was your process? I'm curious to know what the difference is between the kaiser, sutter, and UC Davis programs.

UC Davis has been wonderful!!! I had Kaiser for about 4 years and changed to Davis last year. Kaiser was horrible with my Fibromyalgia. They wouldn't even talk to me about WLS but Davis was great about it.

I love Kaiser however I've tried for many years to qualify for WLS under my joint pain and severe back issues. Never could qualify until I finally hit 40 BMI. Now until this weight is gone, everything just hurts more.

I'm June 16th too. I have my pre-op physical this week (the 29th), then mini class (6/3) and then pre-op seminar on 6/12. Anyone doing a "last supper" of sorts with your favorite foods? I'm going to go out to a couple of my favorite restaurants and have enjoy some yummy food before my pre-op diet starts. What are y'all planning on taking to the hospital?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
